What kind of music to listen to while drawing.

What kind of music to listen to while drawing. Do you listen to music when you draw? What music to listen to while you draw? Can music enhance your artistic creation?
I would like to think so…hope that any cool music to listen to while you draw would inspire.
Many e-mails I received ask me about do I listen to music while I draw.
Yes, 80% of the time and the other 20% is silent…depending on where I am.

And Specialists from the fields of music, neuroscience, psychology, and neurology describe advances in understanding the complex relationship between music and the brain. Intended for psychologists and neuroscientists, contributions address the origins of music, the musical mind, the neurons of music, musical brain substrates, musical expertise and brain plasticity, and the relation of music to other cognitive domains.

Listening to, in particular, classical and instrumental music, has recently been thought to enhance performance on cognitive tests. Contributors to this volume take a closer look at this assertion and their findings indicate that listening to any music that is personally enjoyable has positive effects on cognition. In addition, the use of music to enhance memory is explored and research suggests that musical recitation enhances the coding of information by activating neural networks in a more united and thus more optimal fashion.

I believe music can be an important inspiration component to infuse your certain element you want to convey (so does silent once in a while). You absorb tones and mostly what I listen to doesn’t contain any lyrics because personally it can be distraction so the list of music provided here most of them doesn’t have lyrics though some do…occasionally, but some I don’t even know what they were talking about and that’s good I think…I just absorb their energy and pass along thru my art if needed.

IF ANYONE HAS COOL RECOMMENDATION ABOUT WHAT TO LISTEN TO, FEEL FREE TO POST REPLY ON COMMENT THEN I WILL ADD THEM TO THE LIST.

PLEASE POST THEM ON THE BLOG. Business Inquiry please e-mail me.

Don’t know if you heard of them but may I recommend a group called audiomachine, future world music or two steps from hell?Their music like the others you’ve mention proved to be a great creativity booster…

Anything done by the following artists is very cool:
David Garrett,
Lindsey Stirling,
Twelve Girls Band,
2cellos,
Dallas String Quartet,
Bond,
the Yoshida Brothers,
and the Trans-Siberian Orchestra.
All of these are almost completely instrumental, only with occasional lyrics in small parts of some tracks and most of them are pretty energetic so they should keep the energy level up in the room.
All of them have rather modern sounds and each is pretty unique so there is quite a bit of varity to choose from in this list.

I like to listen to Twenty One Pilots while I draw. Also, Angels & Airwaves is a good one for me.
When I draw listening to music it always happens to bring out a more sketchy style because i always end up drawing in tiny strokes to the flow of the music O.o
